Kitchen and Housewares Reviews of Staub Round 2 Quart Cocotte, BasilCustomer Review: I also love it! Summary: 5 Stars
I could not resist the good deal I got on this "French Oven" in basil. I love this item! It is a darling little pot sitting on my stovetop. This 2 qt size is quite small - about 7" diameter x 3.5" high. But that also makes it easier to handle than the larger Dutch ovens, since it is still a solid, heavy duty enamel cast iron pan.
This pan makes PERFECT! rice - nice and fluffy, absolutely no sticking or browning/burning on bottom of pan. I think it is due to the even heating of the cast iron thick walled pan and also due to the self-basting spikes on the lid, so that the rice steams perfectly in the pan. I have made white jasmine rice and regular brown rice and both turned out PERFECTLY. Much nicer than a rice cooker or pressure cooker. Recipe: I followed the rice:water ratio on the package (1 c dry rice) and added 1/4 tsp salt and 1 tsp butter. Add everything to pan, bring to a boil, cover, turn heat to low then simmer for time directed on package. Remove from heat (do not remove cover) and let sit until ready to serve. It fits 1 c dry rice (cooked) just right - any larger quantity and I assume it will overflow.
I have not yet used the pan for cooking anything else. It is a little small for homemade soups or main dishes but would be good for reheating (if that is your thing - I am a microwaver, myself). I think it will make great oatmeal or steel-cut oats by a similar method to the rice. I also love the color of this pan - a deep pretty green.
